Has the legalization of cannabis made a difference in the number of overdoses? I don't have access to the numbers, but it would be an interesting question to ask from a public health perspective, if easy access to cannabis reduces OD deaths from more powerful drugs.
Edited: I mean, if access to cannabis reduces the incidents of ODing from _other_, harder drugs like heroin or fentanyl or meth.
- peter303 11y agoNo one has died directly of cannibus intoxication in Colorado yet. A couple have people have gone paranoid and committed suicide. And there a several ER room visits for emotional distress or catatonia every week. About of fifth of DUI convictions are now for cannabis. I presume there is a proportional fracton of drunk driving deaths.
